On September 16 2002, the The Chemistry Preprint Server (CPS; free registration required) had archived a total of 32 preprints (not counting conference proceedings). Of these preprints, 236 (44%) were classified as Physical Chemistry. The next most frequent category was Organic Chemistry (55/532 = 10%). On July 23 2002 (when I previously checked CPS), the total number of archived preprints was 500, of which 224 (45%) were in Physical Chemistry. Of the 32 preprints archived in this (almost) 2-month interval, 12 (38%) were in Physical Chemistry. Physical chemists appear to share with physicists (see: arXiv) a greater willingness to post eprints to an electronic archive.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
